Your smile speaks before you even say a word

A bright smile can light up your whole face, and adds vibrancy to your overall look. However, there are instances when we are not completely satisfied with the way our smiles – and our teeth – look, for various reasons. Cosmetic dentistry combines the medical expertise and a form of artistic talent to give you the smile you have always longed for. While traditional or general dentistry focuses on oral health and the prevention/treatment of dental problems, cosmetic dentistry also addresses improving a person’s mouth, teeth and smile.

COSMETIC DENTAL TREATMENTS CAN:

Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth.

Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.

Improve or correct bites.

Lighten or brighten the color of teeth.

Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth.

Replace missing teeth.

Replace old, unattractive dental treatments.

BRIDGES

DENTURES

INLAYS & ONLAYS

BRIDGES

If you are missing teeth, a dental bridge is one option for replacement. Traditional dental bridges are made up of prosthetic teeth, called pontics, that are held in place through the use of dental crowns (abutments). Dental bridges are most often employed in situations where there are healthy teeth on either side of a gap.

DENTURES

Like implants, dentures are used to fill in the gaps when one or more teeth are missing. Dentures are common among older individuals who have lost their teeth through the natural process of aging. Dentures are either for the entire mouth, or just part of the jaw, in which case they are referred to as partials.

INLAYS & ONLAYS

Inlays and onlays both address the restoration of a broken or damaged tooth, but the treatment tends to be more conservative than the use of a crown. These are a type of laboratory produced filling that is then bonded to the tooth on an additional visit. These types of fillings fortify the structure of the teeth, strengthening them and make it easier to chew. The procedure is called an onlay when it refers to a tooth that will undergo restoration to multiple cusps. It is called an inlay when only the cusp tips are addressed.

VENEERS

TEETH WHITENING

CROWNS

VENEERS

If your teeth require a cosmetic makeover due to staining, chipping, gaps, ridges, wear and tear or cracks, porcelain veneers can improve their appearance significantly, resulting in a beautiful, healthy smile that will last for years to come. Veneers are wafer-thin, translucent covers that are bonded to the front of the tooth and matched precisely to the tooth’s coloring.

TEETH WHITENING

Professional teeth whitening can be far more potent and results-oriented than over-the-counter products, and can create a healthy, glowing smile that radiates youthfulness and vitality. Discoloration is a natural part of the aging process, but stained teeth may also be due to poor genes, injury and trauma, illness, certain medications, smoking, drinking coffee or red wine, or an overdose of fluoride

CROWNS

Dental crowns are made from ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, gold alloys, or base metal alloys. They are affixed to a tooth to protect it, cover the damaged portions, strengthen and fortify it. To create a customized crown, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth. The dentist may also file down a tooth’s surface to ensure the crown achieves an ideal fit.

THEY SAY

My teeth look beautiful. I am looking forward to having the bottom now done. For the first time in my adult life I haven’t been hesitant to smile. Everyone involved did a fine professional job. They really take pride in their work.

It brought me from a place of depression as I didn’t think I could afford partials and would have to go toothless. Dr. Dennis walked me through with hope telling me I would be OK. The staff looked for ways to help me financially. Their gentleness and kindness was over the top.
